Hi team,
Can you please help me fix this issue. I had created an EC2 instance in AWS. Installed ELK in Ubuntu 16.04. Configured kibana.yml with localhost and private. Both things not working while I open the browser with local host:5601 or IP:5601. Please resolve this ASAP.

Sounds like a possible networking or firewall issue, so please check your settings around that. Also make sure you secure your instances so you do not leave them open to the internet.

Adding that you may have an easier solution.
Look at [https://www.elastic.co/cloud](https://www.elastic.co/cloud) and [https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B01N6YCISK](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B01N6YCISK) ?
Cloud by elastic is one way to have access to all features, all managed by us. Think about what is there yet like Security, Monitoring, Reporting, SQL, Canvas...
